1895
This
was a very limited census, only a few folks indexed.
He is
listed as 56 VT, a farmer. His
wife Martha E. Pike is listed as 41 VT. The children at home are: George L.
(Leander) 16 VT, Hattie 8 KS and Charles E. (Ellsworth) 5 KS. He's been here since 1856. He is a son

Vermont on September 17, 1807.
He is a

18), June 15 MI and Emma 10 MI. He was here alone in 1860 and suddenly had this
family in 1870. I can’t find him in New York and I can’t find these kids in
Michigan. So, I searched for any Orlando born in Michigan in 1848. Bingo. They
are here in Floyd County in 1860 but their name is Buck. Elizabeth was married
to Enoch Buck from Ohio, and all the kids were born in Michigan. In 1860
Orlando was 13 MI, June was 11 and Emma 8. So this is his first marriage and
her second.
He is a
bookkeeper 48 NY. He is single and boarding. If the age is really 18 NY, he
would be James L. Putman who is here married in 1870. That entry shows him 23
NY and an office clerk. Fits, but not sure who he is.
He is
a teacher 28 MA. His wife Julia Begley is 29 VT. He is a son of John Putnam and
Sabrina Wiley from Massachusetts. He was in Lowell, Mass. in 1860. They are

IL. He is number 2471, a son of Ira Putnam (1114) and Susan Kimball of

1885
KANSAS STATE CENSUS
This
was a tricky census. Virtually every family was listed with just initials. In
most cases I could figure them out and added in the correct names. It is fortunate
